Chapter 207 - 112: A Journey That Ends Only in Death
Colorful Mist Coast, Bright Star Sea Area.
Crystal Palace Domain Node.
The four-day-long battle continued.
The Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards, which grew by absorbing node energy, launched a counterattack against the player offensive.
Groups of Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards clad in hard scales excelled at swarm combat, forming impenetrable barriers using their numerical advantage and rapid underwater movements. Their sharp pincers cut through player bodies with ease, sending them instantly back to Imperial Tomb Village.
Logically speaking, with the Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards at an average Level of about 25, the Player Corps should be able to take them down easily.
After all, Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards don’t have the terrifying racial ability to spawn soldier types continuously like the Insect Tide and the Black Tide.
But without a Life Soul proficient in water to aid them, Human Clan players were completely unused to the rhythm of underwater combat, and several combined offensives were easily crushed by the Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards.
On the Alien Race players’ side, both the Gills Fish Clan and the Abyss Fish Clan were masters of swimming.
However, with generally lower Life Soul Levels and insufficient Body Refining Levels to inherit Life Soul attributes, they were thoroughly overpowered by the Shadow Scale Shrimp Guards.
The battle was conducted through a "grind down" strategy; with each Shadow Scale Shrimp Guard killed, the enemies’ strength diminished slightly.
